Duping - MAC Saint Germain

With summer on the way (apparently) I have started rummaging in my lipstick drawers and pulling out hot pinks, cool corals and neon oranges. It was while doing this I realised I not only had a lot of similar colours, but I had also duped some of beloved Mac lipsticks. 

The first one I pulled out was the very popular Saint Germain and the dupe I have found for this costs a mere £2.99. May I introduce you to Collection Lasting Colour lipstick in Bubblegum. 


 Left - Collection Lasting Perfection Bubblegum, Right - Mac Saint Germain


The top swatch is Mac Saint Germain which is a cool toned bubblegum pink in an amplified finish. The bottom swatch is Collection Bubblegum which as you can see is near enough identical right down to the creamy opaque finish. 


 Top - Mac Saint Germain, Bottom - Collection Lasting Perfection Bubblegum

If you don't fancy splashing out £14.00 on a Mac lipstick then this £2.99 offering from Collection is the perfect alternative. 
You can buy Mac Saint Germain Here and Collection Bubblegum Here.

  1. I can't believe how similar these two shades are! I think I actually prefer the Collection 2000 one for me as it is slightly warmer so I could pull it off more.

    Really great dupe!
